drawn to scale.
2. DESCRIPTION
Each tool features a head containing two stationary
crimping dies (anvils) and two movable crimping dies
(indenters), a locator, an insulation crimping
adjustment pin, and a CERTI–CRIMP hand crimping
tool ratchet control. See Figure 1.
When closed, the crimping dies form one crimping
chamber with two sections: an insulation barrel
section and a wire barrel section. The insulation barrel
section crimps the terminal onto the wire insulation
and, simultaneously, the wire barrel section crimps
the terminal wire barrel onto the stripped wire. The
locator positions the terminal in the crimping chamber.
The insulation crimping adjustment pin is used to
regulate the height of the insulation crimp.
The CERTI–CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control
ensures full crimping of the terminal. Once engaged,
the ratchet will not release until the tool handles have
been FULLY closed.
CAUTION
!
The crimping dies bottom before the
CERTI-CRIMP hand crimping tool ratchet control
releases. This design feature ensures maximum
electrical and tensile performance of the crimp.
Do NOT re-adjust the ratchet.
